Ius Commune Postgraduate Training course 2018-2019. Comparative Law Research and Methodology
Utrecht, Wednesday 8 and Thursday 9 May 2019 Introduction - Programme - Instructions - Location - Contact - Registration form IntroductionPostgraduates who are engaged in comparative law research tend to encounter, at least in the beginning, many theoretical and practical problems. Which systems will I include in my research? Which sources must I consult? Can I find all the necessary materials in the Netherlands or do I have to obtain them from abroad and, if so, from where? For the research are there any other reasons for going abroad? Within the system researched what is the relationship between legal literature and case law, between commercial law and civil law, between federal law and the laws of the Member States?; what are the basic outlines of the judiciary system?; are there any impending amendments? What is the importance of legal history, Human rights law, EU-law, or any of the harmonization projects like e.g. the DCFR on my comparative research? Also more practical topics will be addressed: is it advisable to publish my thesis (or a preceding article) in English? How do I translate certain (legal) terms?These and many other questions will be dealt with during the two-day course for PhD candidates from the Ius Commune postgraduate research school which will be organized by the Molengraaff Institute in May 2019 � Wednesday and Thursday 8 and 9. The lecturers are all comparative lawyers with a great deal of experience and a wide reputation both at home and abroad.
